Memory Care

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disease that affects more than 5.3 million Americans, robbing their memory, cognitive skills, mobility, personality and ability to communicate.

Since the 1980s, The Eddy has been committed to improving the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. In 1997, The Eddy opened Eddy Memory Care at Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Center in Cohoes, a unique residential community specially designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other related memory loss.

This morning’s visit was a delight because of the way Mom was treated as soon as we walked in the door. Seeing her engaged was awesome. It sounded like she had a good time while we were putting things in the room. It was a breath of fresh air, I know Mom will have a good time and be in good hands
